【 摘 要 】

ABSTRACT: Acquiring knowledge of the spatial ecology of many aquatic species, particularly their juvenile life stages, is challenging when they are small in size; this limits the attachment of tracking devices that routinely provide spatially explicit information on larger juveniles and adults. Using depth utilisation data gathered by time-depth recorders, we inferred patterns of habitat utilisation of juvenile hawksbill turtles
